Services
MBSR-X Program
This 11-week intensive program combines mindfulness meditation with neuroscience principles to reduce stress and chronic illness symptoms. Participants learn impartial moment-to-moment awareness through guided practices, theoretical instruction, and group processing. The curriculum integrates Interpersonal Neurobiology and Deep Brain Reorienting techniques to enhance traditional MBSR methods, focusing on transforming automatic mental patterns that contribute to suffering.
Mindsight Intensive
A year-long program requiring prior mindfulness experience, this intensive explores consciousness foundations and existential integration. Through guided meditations, conceptual presentations, and group process work, participants develop proficiency in navigating complex mental states. The curriculum addresses psychosomatic integration, existential awareness, and spiritual transformation, emphasizing trauma-informed practices and resource-based mindfulness techniques for sustained personal growth.
Mindfulness Through Creativity
This 10-week program uses creative expression to cultivate mindfulness through art, movement, and journaling. Participants explore Internal Family Systems concepts while developing resilience and present-moment awareness. No artistic experience is required, as the focus remains on process rather than product, using creative practices to access deeper layers of consciousness and promote emotional healing through embodied awareness.
Psychotherapy Sessions
Individual and group psychotherapy addresses anxiety, depression, and personal growth through psychodynamic, IFS, and ACT approaches. Sessions focus on present-moment awareness, unconscious pattern exploration, and developing authentic self-relationships. The practice combines formal mindfulness training with traditional therapeutic techniques to create lasting behavioral and cognitive changes through structured therapeutic alliances.
Professional Training
Tailored supervision and training programs develop mindfulness teaching competence through MBSR-X participation followed by Mindsight Intensive involvement. The curriculum covers neuroprocessing integration, psychodynamic principles, and movement practices, offering job shadowing and co-leading opportunities. Supervision focuses on cultivating comprehensive understanding of mindfulness embodiment for professional application in clinical and educational settings.

Report
I took the 12 week mindfulness course and learned a lot about myself. Since then I have dealt with many major health challenges and mindfulness has been a big reason why I've been able to take them in stride. I would definitely reccomend it to anyone looking to further their own self knowledge.
